09 Sport comes with Rear Sway Bar (I believe). Will that fit 08?

isn't wheel base comparing the distance from front and rear wheels? So how would that affect a sway bar?

yes still dbw throttle. You will never see cable throttle bodies anymore. They are dinosaurs. Dbw will be around untill something better comes out.

Does anyone know if it'll ever be possible to replace the GD3 gauge cluster with the new one from the GE8? I'd love to have the new one with the built in mpg tracker.

NO not possible. GO on the eco forums, some of the guys use this scan thing that is way more accurate.

I already have a scangauge, but I'm way more interested in the aesthetics of it than the mpg tracker really.

i just read that dxlst transfered over a set of tein s-tech's from his gd1 to use on his new ge8. hopefully shocks will be compatible between the two gens so anything developed for the ge will be ours as well

can anyone chime in and confirm this?

The shocks "will not work" they are much longer ..... and the spring rates for the new fit are much softer than the 1st gen...

Here is a shot of stock GD3 Suspension parts on a GE8 for referance

Vanity Mirrors

Anyone know if the sun shades/visors from the 09 fit the 08? I would like to have a vanity mirror for the passenger side...

i would have to disagree... as long as people are learning about what parts are interchangeable and which aren't, one would think that this thread is serving its purpose
